Super Mario 3D World: Back to the Past

As most of you know, Super Mario 3D World is chock full of references. There's (once again) too many to name, but I'll name some of the Mario ones (not Legend of Zelda).

Mario Bros.: The game Luigi Bros. is almost a exact replica of Mario Bros.

Super Mario Bros.: Luigi sprites from this game can be found through out the game.

One of the hidden Luigis. Look closely in the background to find Luigi swimming on "Bowser's Highway Showdown".



Super Mario Bros. 2: Peach can float in the air for a limited amount of time like in SMB2.

Super Mario Bros. 3: The Game Over (Too Bad!) Music is shared.

Super Mario World: Chargin' Chucks and Galoombas return!

Super Mario Kart: The level Mount Must Dash is said to take place on Mario Circuit, having the same graphics and soundtrack (well, it's remixed).

 

Super Mario 64/ 64 DS: The music that plays when riding on Plessie is the same when riding on a slide in Super Mario 64 (DS).

 

Super Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door: The Fuzzy Horde also makes a triumphant return!

 

New Super Mario Bros.: Riding in Koopa shells return, similar to the blue shell power-up.

 

New Super Mario Bros. Wii: Characters going into bubbles return.

 

Super Mario 3D Land: Tons of items, enemies and more come from this game.

 

So there's some of the Mario references in a Mario game. Thanks for reading this!
